We didn't let the filthy pig into the WH "in spite of" the fact that he's the stupidest person on Earth; we put him there *because* he's the stupidest person on Earth.

I'm so done with people who think any work of Art that goes in depth on a dark nasty subject is "promoting" or "celebrating" it. This kind of intellectual laziness is why the world keeps getting worse.

I just don't see how this level of utterly obvious abuse of power is sustainable. Mussolini-O-Clock any day now, right?

That scene where Simon Phoenix makes a request regarding Dr. Cocteau. Kinda feelin' that. More than "kinda", actually.

Trying to be more "forgiving" (or something) these days, but it's real fucking hard to let go of my poisonous rage towards people who, when the filthy creature first ran for office, mocked or patronized me for my warnings of fascism.

99% of the time, morality is easy. Don't gimme that "It was the hardest decision" malarkey. The decision was the easy part. The hard part was growing the spine to act on it.

I cannot convey the depths or horror and despair I feel from living under such tyranny. And I'm not even a target. Yet.

I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Piggy won't be properly opposed until his core base turns against him. If you know any of them, make sure they know how badly they have already been betrayed, no matter how repeatedly rude you have to be. Their fave news sure as hell won't tell them.

A big part of my current -ISM is to recklessly, heedlessly share unfinished work. Shocking, I know - like going outside naked. Lol.

Never even heard of that thing in the oval office until it said something idiotic on an escalator. After research I said "Allowing that creature any power will lead to civil war."

"Primitive" humans [hate that word btw] probably didn't have words like "metaphor", but I'm positive they intuitively understood the fictionality of myth. POSITIVE.

I've seen the video & so have you. ICE murdered in cold blood without cause. Who gives a shit what the shooter's past is. ICE are donestic terrorists. End them.

Why do we treat the reply "It's complicated & world leaders have to make hard decisions" as anything other than the childish deflection that it is?

Because we are Pavlov's dogs that's why. Humans MADE IT complicated. Humans CAN AND MUST UN-COMPLICATE IT.

IT musta had the worst childhood ever.

You know who I mean.

God is & always has been a fictional construct, & saying that DOES NOT make me an "atheist". I don't buy the idea that primitive humans didn't intuitively understand this. The stupidity of mythic literalism was LEARNED, & the start of the deliberate dumbing down of the masses by the power hungry.

This needs to be turned into a documentary ASAP.

Next to positive emotional connection with another human being, there is, to me, no feeling better than the moment you realize you have a brand new, unique, & valid work of Art in your very own hands.

& the advantage of the work of Art is that once it arrives it will never, ever leave you.

You know, the *PRE-conditoons* for even HAVING a Democracy (a real one) are *inherently* liberal in nature (free speech, personal autonomy, due process, etc.). The biggest elephant in the USA room is that there really shouldn't even BE conservatives here. They should literally go somewhere else.

I'm adamant that it's a life/death matter for humanity that our relationship to Art *must* fundamentally change. But it's not so much to rank Art like a contest; it's that we need to *engage* with Art in a deeper way, like...well, *exactly* like we do with real people, family, friends.
